WHY BELIEVING THAT GOD EXISTS MAKES PEOPLE LIVES EASIER

            The question in which people are trying to find answers for is whether God really exist or he does not exist. Many arguments therefore have build up as many scientists, atheist and philosophers try to argue their thoughts by producing different evidences as a way of proving their point (Bansal, et al 98). The belief of God existence greatly influence how any human being leads his or her life, the way he/she views life, morality, destiny and humanity.  Life is meaningful or meaningless depending on the stand that one takes on the belief on Gods existence. As supported in the Bible only those who are willing to believe that God exists as the bible clearly state that for those who shall seek God they will find Him while those who fail to believe in God is out of their ignorance as the bible states that they have seen adequate evidence but have hold back from the truth about God (McKim & Robert 11).  According to Pascal Wager, a philosopher physicist and a mathematician argues on Gods existence using the apologetic philosophy.  He proposes that humans bet their lives on the God’s being or not but he emphasizes on any rational man to lead a life as though God existed because in the end those who do not believe in Gods existence will have little to lose while those who believe will have unlimited gains and will be able to avoid unlimited losses. This paper therefore generally looks at how life is made easier by the belief on Gods existence. It will discuss in-depth the life advantages that are as a result of Gods existence on people’s lives.

            The fact that there is hope and faith in God after one believes in Gods existence make life more easier to live in. this is because most believers believe in a stronger force that is God who is the perfecta of everything in His own time and in accordance to His will (Stoltz et al 20). This therefore enables any believer to have hope and faith as all shall be well and it’s just a matter of time because God will surely avail Himself in the situation that seems hard.

Though there is so much evil in the world those who believe knows well that God will deliver them from the shortcomings of our limited existence and from the inhumanity to man and the sufferings. Hope and faith is as well applied in cases of death, illness and aging where the old, those who are sick who are about to die feel hopeful that they will get well while the dead hope for an eternal life where they will have an afterlife after death itself (Stoltz et al 20). Hence it is right to say that belief in Gods existence has hope in itself.

            Happiness is felt by those who believe in Gods existence as they have the chance to not only hope in God but also to experience Gods love at a personal love. God acts as a personal friend to humanity and this has made humans who believe in God lead happy lives. The ultimate goal for God on humanity is for them to be happy in their daily lives as it is clearly indicated even in the bible that humans should rejoice always in all circumstances. Therefore it is evident that times will be hard for humans but they should always lead happy lives.

            Believers also are able to lead their lives easily as they are able to see themselves as not perfect but they however strive to lead better lives.  God’s existence portrays Him as the only perfecta while humans fall under the imperfection being. This thought has therefore lead people to view others as the way they view themselves without expecting them to be perfect hence with any misunderstanding or mistake humans are able to forgive each other thus moving on with life.

            Morality is one of the greatest advocacies in Gods existence to humans and this has played a major role in making life easy. This is because the  human race are called to morality where people do that which is right in Gods eyes and this therefore helps to reduce injustices, unfaithfulness in marriage and dishonesty in life (Morrow & Jonathan 107).  

Things that are moral are permitted by God himself while those that are regarded as immoral are forbidden by God. Thus as every believer strive to do that which is permitted by God and avoiding that which is forbidden by God, morality is upheld hence a more better place to live is made.

            In conclusion, there are so many advantages that accrue in believing that God exists and this has made life easier as evidenced above. So many believers find their meaning in life due to this belief while others who strongly reject this believe ends up living hard lives as they justify that God does not exist. The belief in God’s existence ultimately builds up hope, morality, happiness and desire in being perfect.
